TVA Lake - Robco Lake
Shelby Co. Memphis TN
 
At TVA Lake I photographed a bill tagged Lesser Scaup among  the mixed 
species flock of 13 waterfowl species. The birds of the day were found  at 
Robco 
Lake, my first of season Purple Martin blown in on the strong winds  
buffeting the lake where I found and photographed a Red-necked Grebe. The grebe 
 
is in a heavy wing molt and will probably be around for a few days.
 
On Saturday, in Tunica Co. MS, there were lots of gulls  roosting in the 
fields around the landfill. The best bird of the mix, seen in a  field just 
south of the landfill and again feeding at the dump, was another  first year 
ICELAND GULL!
Also in the area among the Ring-bills and Herrings were a  first year 
Thayer's and a first year Lesser Black-back Gull.
